Hello everyone,
I recently acquired a 2nd hand aquarium and wish to make it safe for my tropical fish.
The seller also gave me some accessories (e.g. pump, heater, ornaments) but won't be using them and will buy brand new replacements.
From what I heard from the seller, the aquarium has not been used for a month.
Initially thought, since a month has passed it is like completing 'quaranteen period' and any bacteria that might have been there would have died.
However, now thinking of doing extra clean with vinegar or bleach. What do you think ?
If just cleaning the tank would you use vinegar, bleach or consider 'quaranteen period' to have already been completed ?
